The NZPPI Trolley System - How it Works
- Each nursery, transporter or retailer hires the number of trolleys needed to run their business. They are responsible for ensuring no trolleys or components are lost.
- The receiver of loaded trolleys must always have an equal number of trolleys ready for exchange.
- The receiver of Trolleys checks that all trolleys are received complete, undamaged, clean and workable when exchanged.
- All damaged trolleys or components must be advised immediately to NZPPI and a replacement trolley or component will be organised.
Nursery
Plants are packed onto empty plant trolleys at the nursery. The trolley is then loaded onto to the grower’s or transporter’s truck.
Transporter
The driver exchanges empty plant trolleys for full ones at the nursery then delivers to the consignee.
The Retailer
The consignee receives the loaded plant trolley and exchanges each full trolley for an empty unit. The loaded trolley can be pushed to the exact location for unloading stock. Once unloaded the trolley is ready for the next exchange from the Trolley transporter.
Plant Trolleys are also designed for inter-nursery plant transporting, i.e. between liner growers and their customers.
